Zakharova: Disposing of Russian assets without Russia's consent violates international law
On December 13, 2025, Moscow time, Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, wrote in a statement published on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
Disposing of the sovereign assets of the Russian Federation without the consent of the Russian Federation, whether it is an indefinite freeze, seizure, or attempting to repackage it as some form of compensation loan, is an absolutely illegal act that seriously violates international law. No matter how Brussels tries to justify it with pseudo-legal means, we are talking about a plain and simple theft.
